Deep Woods Estate - Reserve Chardonnay - 2023

Julian Langworthy says “This is the best release, ever.”...   Lime, pink grapefruit, quite a lot of cashew, cinnamon pastry, some cut fennel, a wisp of flinty and smoky things. It has intensity and ripe grapefruity acid cut, something more saline and umami here too, bright and chalky in texture, with lime rind and grip on a finish of excellent length. It has zing and energy, though it really needs a few years in bottle to cool its boots and settle into its groove. 95+ Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
